I'm rather fond of this series. :)

Thanks!  I'm glad you like it, and I'm glad you found it on the ML.  
For some reason, when I tried to post the 6 parts of my story on 
Saturday, my e-mail sent the headers and the attached files 
seperately.  How annoying!  ^_^

   In the first place, I like the job you did with the Snow-Woman and her
Tengu associate. Far too often, new characters in fics are rather one
dimensional and dull. This, by contrast, is a excellent blending of myth
and personality. 

I got some of the idea for this story while reading a book of 
Japanese fairy tales.  The Snow Woman struck me as a character that 
would blend with the Ranma universe quite easily.

   The plot's decent enough....I admit to being curious as to whether or
not it'll really take Akane seven years to get back.

Heh.  You'll see...

   Not sure why Nabiki suspects Cologne. Granted, Nabiki is devious and
perceptive and all that, but Cologne's story is perfectly plausible. Ah
well, it moves the plot along.

I'm glad you think Cologne's story is plausible.  So far, Part 6 has 
been the hardest to write because I really wanted to make the scene 
where Cologne and Shampoo manipulate Ranma with their made-up story 
convincing without making Ranma appear too thick-headed.  As for why 
Nabiki isn't fooled, let's just say that she's done enough of her own 
manipulating to recognize it for what it is.

   Hope to see the next installment soon. :)

I hope to post Part 7 by the end of this week, barring domestic or 
work disaster.  ^_^
